It’s that time of year to clear out all the beds and get them ready to overwinter garlic and onions.
My pumpkins that i spent days prepping a plot for, tilled, fertilized, automatic irrigation system, didn’t do well at all. The potatoes that i yanked from the pantry, let my son cut into pieces and basically tossed too close together in soil that i barely loosened up still full of grass, did amazing.
A 6x18 bed behind a barn that i forgot to water half the time filled this box about 3 times, which weighed around 30lbs each + we’ve just been pulling them to throw in with dinner for the past few nights.
A couple pest, a couple bad ones, but overall I’m super happy.
I gave a box to each of the neighbors on either side and kept one for myself


My personal experience with squash is that it either grows on its own or it doesn’t grow. No amount of work will change the already determined outcome.
